This is a follow up to my last post of "Where Did We Go?"
@id_peace guessed right with Texas!
I was browsing through Marketplace Tuesday night when I came across a 24 ft. Searay HT240 Sundancer. This boat is similar to the Penn Yan boat that we last bought, but it had more of an appeal to me. I forwarded it to my husband and it must of grabbed him too because he contacted the owner. The owner wanted to get rid of it as quick as possible because it was parked at his aunt and uncle's house and being vandalized. These were all minor things, but they add up. He also had a friend that wanted the boat, but the friend planned on parting it out instead of fixing it up. Since this was his father's boat, who had passed away recently, he wanted to see the boat fixed and not destroyed. He told my husband that if he would come and look tonight (he didn't realize we were out of town/state) that he would mark the boat sold. My husband told him that we could be there tomorrow. He agreed to that so we threw some clothes together, ate real fast and hit the road. The boat was located about 40 minutes south of San Antonio, TX.
We drove through the night and arrived in his city around 9 am. We stopped at IHOP and had breakfast and then went to meet the man with the boat. The boat checked out for my husband and they agreed on a price. We left and went to Tractor Supply to get some lights for the trailer and a few other things and then went back, paid for the boat, hitched it up and left.
Stay tuned for Part 2!

The boat looks handsome and excellent. How's the motor? No issue?

Oh, man, poor San Antonio and the hill country in Texas with all those floods.
Glad you didn’t get caught by one.
Ready for part two!

You'll have a real boatyard there soon! It's always good to pick up a bargain.

That's the way to do business.
Why can't I meet folks like you who buy motorbikes.
Time wasting wankers, that's all I have had of late
Can't wait for part 2
